How much is enough?

There was a bit of a lively discussion on the Sipsey Street Facebook page on how much ammunition was enough. At the risk of getting into a philosophical argument, I was reminded of a story about my WWII vet Great Uncle and what he had by his front door in the wilds around Grand Haven, Michigan.

He placed an M1 grand and two bandoleers of ammunition by the door, presumably for snakes of the regular and two legged variety. When he was asked as to why he had not just one. but two bandoleers to go with the rifle, he quipped that sometimes one is just not enough.

Hi Matt and Mike,"How much ammo is enough???" Well, The answer to that question is forever timeless... If I may Quote: "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books or too much ammunition." -Rudyard Kipling-

While more ammo is always better than less, I am reminded of what Tom Baugh, author of Starve the Monkeys said. When asked how much ammo he had, his reply was, "I have enough to get more". As much as it quietly enrages me that our government has stockpiled something like 1.5 BILLION rounds of ammo that is obviously intended to be used on all of us, I try to think of it in the perspective of the previously quoted statement by Mr Baugh. In other words, how convenient for us that our government has stockpiled massive amounts of .556 and .40 and 9mm, that is just sitting there waiting to be liberated by citizens such as us when the time comes. We have enough to get more.

How much? We always found in the Army that there were two types of folks. There were the ones that liked shooting. They would always claim they were really low or out of ammo and would get more. Then there were the ones that didn't like to shoot. They would always claim that they had too much. Heck they would offer to give some back. We figured out that the Army never really knew how much ammo a unit had.

Hi Mike and Matt,What "anymouse' said at 13:41hrs, is really good!!! Too bad he's "anymouse" he (or she) sounds like a cool person and has a good sense of humor!! With an attitude like that he..(or she) is welcome on all my Skydives and any other excursions I may be involved with the "Team!!"Blue skies!!!,Got Ammo!,III%,skybill-out

Sigh....Another foolish poster who opens his trap and lets everyone see how foolish they are.

Rights ARE privileges and privileges ARE rights, blowhard. Privileges are NOT government allowed permissions, handouts or other gifts from almighty government. Privileges and immunities are what you CAN do by RIGHT and what government CANNOT do to you because you do. See that?

To demonstrate this, please take the time to read the 14th Amendment, rather than listen to the telemedia talking points shoved down your throat in public school.

Freed slaves, whites and black alike though admittedly heavily slanted on the darker skin tones, were not being their government allowed permissions. Indeed, they were being denied their RIGHTS - as spelled out quite clearly in our Constitution. In order to put that madness to rest, the 14th was crafted to be unambiguous and right to the point. Whether one attempts the positive rights or negative rights slant on it, privileges and immunities as a phrase addresses both.

Now, put it to the test will ya? Read the text itself and supplant rights with privileges and immunities, see it makes sense when you read it? Now, supplant permissions with privileges and immunities, see how it is relegated to abject idiocy? Yeah, thats because rights and privileges are synonyms, where permissions and privileges are not. Now, anonymous, apply what you have learned....ok? Privileges are not permissions, allowed by government, they are rights endowed by our creator. We are indeed privileged....but not by permission from government. See it yet?

The 14th amendment actually makes slavery legal, you super silly. Rather than listen to the telemedia talking points that are emanating from your rear, maybe use a little critical thinking and a little elbow grease researching and our sophisticated slavery becomes embarrassingly apparent.

Drivers license, passport, tags, license plates, mandatory insurance, gas, food, property, state, federal taxes. If I had a right to travel, own property, you know, live my life with rights, I would not need to ask permission/beg for the privilege. If I had the right, then why must I beg master for the privilege ? If I do not pay the king to use his land, roads, animals, ETC... then I will be extorted, kidnapped, or possibly murdered under color of law for not paying tribute. Only the state owns property in allodial status. We slaves merely rent. Think you "own" the deed to your property. Negative, your name is under tenant, not owner. Another example of a privilege that the states so lovingly bestows upon us chattel. We have no rights in this country. The list encompass every facet of life.

Congress changed the word person right around the time the 14th amendment was allegedly ratified. i am an individual, a Human. I am not a person, a corporate entity, a straw man. The 14th amendment made us all corporate fiction, and made slavery legal for the state. Also anyone care to explain what the validity of debt shall not be questioned is REALLY all about?

Regardless, Because of the war of northern aggression, the united states congress ceased to exists. Congress Adjourns Sine Die March 27th 1861. Martial law under the liber code was instituted, the representation of several states was no longer in effect. The reconstruction amendments and the several following are all null and void.

Rights are inherent, handed down from god.Privileges are what man bestows upon another man. Master>Slave.

Here are a few links that might shed some light on the subject, you silly billy !

How much ammo is too much? There is two kinds, ammo to be used to preserve your life and the ammo used to practice to preserve your life. I dont any too much in either type. What is in apparent dire short supply is the courage to use the first kind of ammo to preserve both kinds of ammo.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

On the efficacy of passive resistance in the face of the collectivist beast. . .

Had the Japanese got as far as India, Gandhi's theories of "passive resistance" would have floated down the Ganges River with his bayoneted, beheaded carcass. -- Mike Vanderboegh.

In the future . . .

When the histories are written, “National Rifle Association” will be cross-referenced with “Judenrat.” -- Mike Vanderboegh to Sebastian at "Snowflakes in Hell"

"Smash the bloody mirror."

If you find yourself through the looking glass, where the verities of the world you knew and loved no longer apply, there is only one thing to do. Knock the Red Queen on her ass, turn around, and smash the bloody mirror. -- Mike Vanderboegh

From Kurt Hoffman over at Armed and Safe.

"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."

From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."

"Only cowards dare cringe."

The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.

"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."

"As our enemies work bit by bit to deconstruct, we must work bit by bit to REconstruct. Be mindful where we should be. Set goals. We fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less." -- Mike H. at What McAuliffe Said

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
